Influence of Pr3+ and CO32- Ions Coupled Substitution on Structural, Optical and Antibacterial Properties of Fluorapatite Nanopowders Obtained by Precipitation
(MDPI, Basel, 2021)
Coupled substitution of fluorapatite (FAP) crystal lattice plays an important role in the engineering of optically active nanomaterials. Uniform fluorapatite nanopowders doped with praseodymium (Pr3+) and carbonate (CO32-) ...
Geochemical distribution of selected elements in flotation tailings and soils/sediments from the dam spill at the abandoned antimony mine Stolice, Serbia
(Springer Heidelberg, Heidelberg, 2020)
Materials held within mine tailings pose a serious risk to the environment in cases of tailings dam failure. Collapse of the tailing dam at the Stolice antimony mine in West Serbia caused a spilling of tailing slurry into ...
Accumulation of Potentially Toxic Elements in Invasive Ambrosia artemisiifolia on Sites with Different Levels of Anthropogenic Pollution
(Springer Int Publ Ag, Cham, 2020)
This study investigated invasive Ambrosia artemisiifolia from five localities with different levels of anthropogenic pollution in order to determine the potential for accumulation of trace metals and metaloids. Physical ...
Structure and Strength of Isothermally Heat-Treated Medium Carbon Ti-V Microalloyed Steel
(MDPI, Basel, 2021)
Isothermal transformation characteristics of a medium carbon Ti-V microalloyed steel were investigated using light microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and by ...
Valorization of Fly Ash from a Thermal Power Plant for Producing High-Performance Self-Compacting Concrete
(Međunarodni Institut za nauku o sinterovanju, Beograd, 2020)
This study analyzes the feasibility of valorizing industrial by-product, fly ash from a thermal power plant as a partial replacement of mineral filler-limestone for the production of self-compacting concrete (SCC). Three ...
Technologically Sustainable Route for Metals Valorization from Jarosite-PbAg Sludge
(MDPI, Basel, 2021)
By-products from zinc hydrometallurgy are classified as hazardous waste with strong leaching toxicities. Even though numerous research papers are dedicated to valorizing valuable metals in it, the primary management route ...
Waste Slag from Heating Plants as a Partial Replacement for Cement in Mortar and Concrete Production. Part I-Physical-Chemical and Physical-Mechanical Characterization of Slag
(MDPI, Basel, 2020)
Numerous factors influence the complexity of environmental and waste management problems, and the most significant goal is the reuse of materials that have completed their "life cycle" and the reduction in the use of new ...
Soil erodibility in European mountain beech forests
(Canadian Science Publishing, Ottawa, 2021)
Forests in Europe are currently not endangered by soil erosion. However, this can change with climate change or with intensified forest management practices. Using a newly established network of plots in beech forests ...
Preparation and Characterization of the Sulfur-Impregnated Natural Zeolite Clinoptilolite for Hg(II) Removal from Aqueous Solutions
(MDPI, Basel, 2021)
Sulfur-impregnated zeolite has been obtained from the natural zeolite clinoptilolite by chemical modification with Na2S at 150 degrees C. The purpose of zeolite impregnation was to enhance the sorption of Hg(II) from aqueous ...
Performances of Vermiculite and Perlite Based Thermal Insulation Lightweight Concretes
(Međunarodni Institut za nauku o sinterovanju, Beograd, 2020)
This experimental study was conducted with an aim to investigate the effect of the elevated temperature on the mineral phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of the thermal insulation lightweight ...
